User Criteria
Can I share my login credentials with other employees at my institution or elsewhere?
No, the ZARD end user licensing agreement states that only the signee can use your account. Our goal is to provide an educational resource that advances animal care and wellbeing while protecting the data (imaging studies, anonymized patient data, etc.) from spilling into the public sphere.
I’m changing jobs and need to update my login credentials. What do I do?
Contact the ZARD leadership team at zard@brookfieldzoo.org with your new institution, email, and role, and we will adjust your account.
I signed up for the ZARD when I was a veterinary or vet tech student, but now I’m graduating. Do I still have access to the ZARD?
Great question! Once you graduate, your account will be deactivated. However, if you become affiliated with a zoological institution, you may register for a new account by visiting our homepage https://brookfieldzoo.org/zard and clicking the button “Click Here to Register.”
I have a colleague or friend in private practice that is performing diagnostic imaging on a zoo species. Can I share reference images with them if I’m logged in under my account?
No, practitioners or associated professionals working in private practice as a veterinarian or veterinary technician do not meet our user requirements. One exception is a private practitioner that is the Attending Veterinarian for a zoological institution at a registered USDA Animal Care Facility. We encourage veterinarians working in private practice to contact a board-certified veterinary radiologist for assistance in interpreting patient images. Please email zard@brookfieldzoo.org if you have questions.
I’m a zoological companion (“exotics”) clinician or specialist in private practice. May I have access to the ZARD?
No, practitioners or associated professionals working in private practice as a veterinarian or veterinary technician do not meet our user requirements. One exception is a private practitioner that is the Attending Veterinarian for a zoological institution at a registered USDA Animal Care Facility. We encourage veterinarians working in private practice to contact a board-certified veterinary radiologist for assistance in interpreting patient images.
